488 Correct Coilover wrenches?

I looked up Scuderia parts and found 1 of the rings are the same with 458 illustration #2 part # 220351. Might want to contact ricambi America or Hill Engineering directly to see what they have for your application.

I had the Hill wrenches for my 458. Aren't they the same sizes for the 488?

The hill ones are very nicely made.

The 488 is basically a 458 with different body work and motor. I'd bet the coilovers weren't changed.

I used these adjusting wrenches for my 458. Most likely will work for 488 too. Sizes on the tools.

I used a very similar set (made by Williams) when I lowered the front of my 458 as well.

Word of advice: Make sure the threads are really well cleaned and oiled before you adjust. Since the coilover and nuts are both aluminium, they seize up VERY EASILY.

So be careful. You are warned.

 

Just look and estimate spring diameter and if hole (measure size) or square cut in spring perches. 2 kinds of wrenches pin for hole in perch or hook for square cut perch.

I like the mcs pin type yellow units because they fit in everything with a hole so far. The left wrench with swivel hook has more range. Image Unavailable, Please Login

 

Good advice. But, not only that - and perhaps more importantly - you have to make sure you don't accidentally turn both nuts as a unit, or you are screwed. Each nut has to back away from the other (without clocking either way as a unit), or the rotation of the two (when joined) will gall the internal threads and ruin not just your day, but also the aluminum threads inside.
